Is High Resistance Grounding Better for Your Application?

AI Thread Summary
High resistance grounding offers advantages such as reduced fault currents and improved system reliability, making it suitable for certain applications. However, it can complicate drive system operations by introducing issues like increased voltage stress on equipment and challenges in detecting ground faults. Solid grounding provides a direct path to ground, ensuring immediate fault clearing but can result in higher fault currents. Low resistance grounding strikes a balance but may not be ideal for all environments. The choice between these grounding methods depends on specific application requirements and operational priorities.

What are the pros/cons of high resistance grounding versus solid grounding and low resistance grounding? What is the preference for different applications? What complications does high resistance grounding introduce in drive system applications?

Thank you.

Welcome to the PF.

Can you explain your questions a bit more? They are not making sense to me yet. What is the context of the question? Can you provide some links to more information about what you are asking about?
 
Sounds like homework.

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...

Thread 'EMF (Electromagnetic Field) & EHS (Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity)'

Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
